Subject: [PATCH net v2 07/16] rxrpc: Fix update of call->tx_pending without holding lock
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 20:22:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710192220.1922433-8-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710192220.1922433-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
Currently, rxrpc_send_data() updates call->tx_pending just before it
returns - but it won't be holding the call->lock when it does this if a
wait was interrupted by a signal. This would allow a parallel sendmsg() to
race.
Further, both the callers of rxrpc_send_data() call it with the lock held,
and then it returns an indication through the parameter list to say whether
it has dropped the lock or not - after which the callers both just drop the
lock if it's still held.
Fix this by:
(1) Moving the release of call->lock down into rxrpc_send_data() and get
rid of the indicator parameter. This makes it easier to see where the
lock is held.
(2) Make the wait_for_space path move the value in txb back into
call->tx_pending before dropping the lock prior to the wait.
(3) After waiting, if the attempt to reacquire the mutex is interrupted,
just return directly there rather than going to out_unlock
Fixes: b0f571ecd794 ("rxrpc: Fix locking in rxrpc's sendmsg")
